Success

Coeur d'Acier

(see below)

Description summary:
The text varies based on whether the Duke is a thrall of the Liberation (probably based on the Ducal Doubts or Burgundy's Ruler quality) or if he is in Mourning.

DukeDescription
Liberationist"I know what you think. You see me on this throne and think I have betrayed the principles that delivered it unto me. […]" He […] snuffs a candle. […]

[…] In the darkness, he places a hand on your shoulder. "[…] I will burn the throne when we are finished. This I vow."

Not Liberationist"[…] The people here – my people, now – have suffered enough." […]

"This old Max […] refused to fight, or to swear the soldier's oath." A pause. "Perhaps that is what the duchy needs now […]. A Duke with no appetite for further conquest."

In Mourning"I have no appetite for further discord […]. My father named me after a saint […]. Maximilian of Tebessa […]. In truth, she was more the saint than I, wasn't she?

[…] But I loved her. Love her still. What can I do, but love all that she loved? […] This is how I remember."
